All glass, all the time. Watch live glassblowing, see contemporary glass art in a breathtakingly beautiful museum on Tacoma's revitalized waterfront, and stroll across the Chihuly Bridge of Glass. The Museum was designed by acclaimed architect Arthur Erickson. The 90-foot-tall cone references the wood-burning sawmills once common in the region. 2,800 stainless steel shingles cover the cone exterior. The cone tilts 17 degrees to the north. The Museum welcomed its one millionth visitor in August, 2007, shortly after its fifth anniversary. The three reflecting pools on the Museum's plaza hold a total of 79,000 gallons of water. The Chihuly Bridge of Glass is 500 feet long. The Chihuly Bridge of Glass was commissioned by the City of Tacoma in partnership with Dale Chihuly and MOG.
